A list of puns related to "Philip Kaufman"
They have added a ton of classic movies for Halloween. The Haunting (the original from 1963), Poltergeist, Carrie, Lifeforce. But of them all, the one I would urge everyone to see (especially if they have never seen it before) is Invasion of The Body Snatchers from 1978. It's one of the rare cases of a remake being better than the original. Super creepy while oozing dread and paranoia.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being is a 1988 American drama film, an adaptation of the 1984 novel of the same name by Milan Kundera. It was directed by Philip Kaufman, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jean-Claude Carrière, and stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche and Lena Olin. The film portrays Czechoslovak artistic and intellectual life during the Prague Spring, and the effect on the main characters of the communist repression that resulted from the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.
When I read Milan Kundera's book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" I was around 15 years old it was around 1986 and I got rid of that the book was an immediate sensation as it arrived in bookstores and was often cover story .
I confess that I was too young to fully understand the philosophical content that the author personified in the character of Tomas (at least in my interpretation) did every page was too intellectual for my level of knowledge. I remember I assumed I had really enjoyed the book for fear of sounding stupid to tell the truth.
Three years after I read the book - and I read the entire book, Philip Kaufman's film hit the cinema screens around 1988 and was at least a critical and public success in Brazil and I again a little more mature but not understanding The politics of then Czechoslovakia in 1968, let alone understand what the "Prague Spring" was, I liked the film for the sensuality and beauty of its scenes and I loved the two main actresses. Daniel Day-Lewis I knew by "My Beautifil Laundrette" but it still wasn't a popular name unless you were like me a movie fanatic.
It took 10 years to pass in my life that around 28 years of age I reread the book and it all made sense to me.
I went to the video store closest to my home and looked for a VHS copy of the movie to then re-appreciate it properly. It was like meeting up with a good friend to have a deeper conversation about something that had been postponed.
The movie is very distinct and different from the book. The book is much more complex but the result is that the film has a series of other unique and peculiar qualities to it.
This was one of the first titles of the Criterion Collection Spine #55 (currently sold out) until today I don't have it in my collection for this presentation I went to visit the library that had a copy and again in 2021 it was a reunion between me and this film.
To my surprise, the film is still as relevant today as it was when it was made in theaters. Wi
... keep reading on reddit β‘The film is shot beautifully, is wonderfully scored and features a brilliant cast. Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams are great in the lead roles, but the supporting cast also shines. Jeff Goldblum is fantastic as usual. Veronica Cartwright plays Goldblum's wife and delivers possibly my favorite performance. You have undoubtedly seen Cartwright in something during her prolific career, but I remember her most in Alien and The Right Stuff from decades ago.
There are so many iconic scenes I'd like to comment on, but I don't want to spoil the experience for anyone. Suffice to say, if Invasion of the Body Snatchers has been on your watchlist for a while, I encourage you to take the next available opportunity and watch it.
itβs one of my favorite movies and only a few people have really seen it. any help would be awesome
The riches of the New Hollywood are so abundant that it was almost inevitable that some bona fide masterworks would be overlooked, and one of the most unfairly underseen films is Philip Kaufman's The Wanderers, a movie whose bare synopsis does no justice to just how weird and wonderful it is.
Often regarded as part of the teen gang cycle that bloomed in 1979 (the socially conscious Boulevard Nights, Walk Proud, the British Quadrophenia, and Hill's loopy, comic book mythmaking exercise The Warriors), The Wanderers is far looser than of these, foregoing plot in favour of incidents that range from the comic, to the poignant, to thew downright surreal (the Ducky Boys are the stuff of nightmares, and there presence is often linked to the fires of hell - not the only Scorsese motif this film uses). Even the fights - normally the raison d'etre of such pictures - seem like a sidebar (spectacular though they can be).
Kaufman (himself somewhat underrated, despite making the rock solid classic The Right Stuff) directs with energy, and a keen eye for sociological observation (this is a very lived in movie), but this is no dry piece of social realism: comic book style interludes and larger than life characters seem to be embody the hopes and dreams of the era (1963/64), and every nuance (and this is a nuanced movie) is suffused with a teenagers sense of exaggeration.
And the musical moments! Watching this will forever associate Shout!, Walk Like a Man and Stand By Me with the corresponding images in the movie.
To discuss:
- What ways does the film nail the era? What do its comic book exaggerations say about the 60's (where it looks back to) or the 70's (when it was made)?
- It's greatly expansive tone
- How Kaufman got the fantasy interludes to work (especially the Ducky boys, who could have severely unbalanced the film)
- The sympathy for characters who embody values waaaaaaaay beyond the pale of what's acceptable today
Would be super grateful to anyone that could share a pdf copy of the screenplay!
Hello r/printSF. I've been posting the books I read each year since 2019, so here's 2021. I accidentally deleted my Google tracking sheet in October, so about 80% of this is reconstructed from memory... Favorites are in bold. π· (TLDR: I read a lot and want to brag about it).
Gender breakdown: 17% (13) books by female authors, 5% by male and female authors (4, includes 2 anthologies), 77% (58) by male authors. Not surprising considering the genre, but my New Year's resolution is to be more intentional about reading female novelists. Please recommend!
Genre breakdown: 37.5% (28) scifi, 17% (13) fantasy, 16% (12) edge cases/general spec fic/magical realism, 29% (22) literary fiction/classics
Top 5 (if I had to pick): Gormenghast, Ice, The Invention of Morel, The Unconsoled, The Fifth Head of Cerberus
Least enjoyable 5: Mistborn trilogy, Mexican Gothic, The Topeka School (non-sf)
Favorite non-speculative: The Possessed, Gilead, Anna Karenina
Most-read author: Isaac Asimov. Longest standalone book: Shogun
And yes, I read Blindsight.
Iβve always been fascinated by the names of the missions in Destroy All Humans!, (which in itself is likely a reference to the film Destroy All Monsters by IshirΕ Honda) and while there are reference pages available online, theyβre not as fulll as they probably should be, so Iβve tried to trace the source of the names of various missions. Some of these are guesswork, others are pretty obvious what theyβre a reference to.
Kind of fascinating to see just how tenuous and obscure some of these references are.
